Top Supplement Companies

I would really like to know, which in your opinion are the very best supplement companies out there. I am interested solely on the quality of the supplements (mostly those, who base their product on REAL research), even though they may be more expensive.

Most of the companies we have on this board are exceptional. Each has their own style of products and bring something unique to the market place. Then we have Nutraplanet to bring them all together. I couldn't really pick just one wouldn't be fair.

Universal. These guys have been around for a long time so that should say something, plus their supplements work and all the representatives tell it like it is. Nearly all my supps come from Universal/Animal.

I agree. I wouldn't be afraid to give any company on the board an honest shot. And I have already. You won't be disappointed. Most supps here are not out of reach price-wise, either. This is Nutra Planet, not GNC.

If I had to pick one, although I don't use a ton of their products, I think it would be Ergopharm. Most of their products use proven ingredients, yet they have released new and innovative products as well. Ergo isn't a slave to the marketing hype or "kitchen sink" formulas used by so many other companies.

Thanks brother. Universal has been around since 1977. Precious few companies have been here longer. They've seen many companies come and go. You can say that Universal has a very long term approach when it comes to supps.

Corporate offers an unparalleled guarantee on all the supps they sell and stand behind them with full customer service support online (reps) and through the toll-free number where you can talk to a real bodybuilder (800-872-0101). When you purchase a supp from Corporate, you are gettin' much more than a supp. You get help, advice and useful info.

All products are manufactured by Universal Nutrition. Again, few companies can make this claim. Universal Nutrition does not rely on "contract manufacturers" to make products for them. This means accountability. If there's a problem, Corporate can't blame anyone but themselves. This is a big motivator. Corporate makes their supps in a GMP facility too. Quality is key.

Along with quality is the notion of value. You should be able to trust that what you get works and is priced right. With Corporate, you get that.

With Universal or Animal, you ain't gonna get flashy supps or hyped ads. No claims about what the supps are gonna do... No gimmicks. The company ain't fly-by-night. Truth is, they typically don't even advertise products. Corporate prefers to stand on the testimonials of people who have used their products. If you make a solid product and stand behind it and the consumers who buy them, you will get repeat business. Corporate's entire approach is to treat the customer with respect and to be honest and to have respect for individuals. I believe this is doin' business the old fashioned way--gettin' a customer one at a time, earning his trust and respect, and doing right by him.

Here and elsewhere, I'd like to believe that the reps have behaved accordingly.

I have to agree with sportsfan. I have yet to find a company, supplement or not, that is as generous, real, down to earth, and customer service oriented as Universal is.

I have been using Animal Pak for 8+ years, have had minimal issues with any products from the company, and any that were had and expressed, were resolved on their end immediately and at no cost to me. I have learned a great deal from the people at Universal, and can call all of them friends and family. Keep it up guys!

Thanks brother... I'd like to think what you said is true--that Corporate treats their customers like family.

It is I who should thank YOU for how much help you are at all times. and I know that you are quite the humble man and feel like you are just doing your job, but it goes beyond that.

There are not many places/people who Care like the staff do at Universal. That, in my opinion, goes a lot further than a low price.

I know what ya mean... I was originally all Muscle-Tech (Aside from Natural Sterol Complex and Pak...), but U-Rep had started a thread over at another place talking about the FORVM... I went over, checked it out, registered, and let me tell you... Things have been awesome... They truly treat their customers like family... 100% money back guarantees, awesome customer service, and a true dedication to providing first class products and service...

I have been using Animal/Universal products for a few years now. As a company, they go above and beyond any expectations I had for a supplement company. Their customer service is unparalleled. Their products are top notch and competitively priced. This company has stood the test of time for a reason.

I HAVE TRIED A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT OF SUPPLEMENTS IN MY LIFE TIME, BIG COMMERCIALIZED NAMES BRO, AND NONE AND I SERIOUSLY MEAN NON HAVE HELPED ME MORE THAN UNIVERSAL NUTRITION!

THE MAIN THING FOR ME BESIDES THE PRODUCT WERE THE PEOPLE/BROTHERS AND BROTHERHOOD THERE IS WITH UNIVERSAL/ANIMAL THAT THERE ISN'T WITH ANY OTHER COMPANY "I CAN GIEV YOU MY 100% GUARANTEE" ON THAT!

I DONT OFFER REFUNDS OR HAVE A 1-800 NUMBER, BUT IF YOU THINK I AM BS'IN AND LYING YOU CAN SHOOT ME A LONG MESSAGE TALKING $#!T IF YOU WOULD LIKE!

ALSO BESIDE STHAT FACT THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS GIVING BACK WITH PROMOS AND FREE PRODUCTS, YOU GET HELP FROM REAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE GAME. YOU ALSO GET PEOPLE WHO JUST LIFT AND SUPP FOR A HOBBY, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL YOU TAKE THIS SPORT AND LIFESTYLE UNIVERSAL/ANIMAL HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

TRUST ME BRO ONCE YOU START YOU WILL GET HOOKED AND WILL YOU NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER THINK TWICE ABOUT TURNING BACK TO ANYTHING ELSE!

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SINCE BEING WITH UNIVERSAL/ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME A CHAMPION ALL NATURAL BODYBUILDER AND THEY SENDING ME TO THE ARNOLD CLASSIC!

Universal prudcuts are the truth hands down.. I am not teen am 36 years old and not trying to look all crazy big I am just tyring to keep in shape for my son who is 2 years old

I play BB and run hit the iron. With out Universal I could not push my self to the limits and recover so fast so thank you.

dedication to my son is all I have in this world and for me not to be in the best shape for him will only make me a weak father.. I hate when I see middle age men with there fat guts and have kids they can play with because they are so out of shape.

It's hard to narrow it down really since some seem to specialize more than others. I'll just list what I have had success with, in no particular order. Animal-only have experience with Pak but did like it (and btw Animal rep I am in need of another sticker as my fiance sniped mine and put it on her car, or better yet a free container of Pump as I have yet to try it *wink*), Controlled Labs-have loved White Flood, Green Mag, and Orange Triad (Currently my favorite group of products). CEL-had very good experience with a hormonal product of theirs. Scivation-Xtend always gets good reviews and I loved it. Anabolic Innovations-Have had good experiences with Cycle Support and PCS. Gaspari-Have had success with a product or two of theirs in the past. Long list I know..

Honestly, I use the products I do because a lot of trial and error led me to them. I found the the Universal/Animal brands worked best for me and were priced well for what you get. Their attention to the customer is what won me over. With one of the broadest ranges of supplements from any company Universal has your bases and then some covered from top to bottom.

I'm talking about the world's largest supplement company. They have spent more money on research than any other company, holding over 700 patents with hundreds more pending. This company was also the first supplement company. The company is Nutrilite.
